Space Engineers

Welcome to a universe of unlimited opportunity. Here you can enter the suit of a space engineer and tackle the challenges of trying to build ships and space stations in zero-g.

Space Engineers (Early Access) is a sandbox game about engineering, construction and maintenance of space works. Players build space ships and space stations of various sizes and utilization (civil and military), pilot ships and perform asteroid mining.

Space Engineers utilizes a realistic volumetric-based physics engine: all objects can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed. The game comes with two game modes: creative and survival.

Space Engineers is inspired by reality and by how things work. Think about modern-day NASA technology extrapolated 60 years into the future. Space Engineers strives to follow the laws of physics and doesn't use technologies that wouldn't be feasible in the near future.

Space Engineers concentrates on construction aspects, but can be played as a tactical shooter as well. We expect players to avoid engaging in direct man-to-man combat and instead use their creativity and engineering skills to build war machines and fortifications. Space Engineers shouldn’t be about troops; it should be about the machinery you build.

Easy Start 1 – start on an asteroid platform with one large ship and two small ships

Easy Start 2 – start in a green asteroid station with several large and small ships (this is a large scene!)

Lone Survivor – start on an abandoned asteroid platform with no ships

Crashed Red Ship – your mother ship just crashed...

Two Platforms – competitive two-team multi-player world

Asteroids – start in a rescue ship with very limited resources

Empty World – no asteroids, no ships; suitable for creative mode

Dedicated servers - allow players to connect to a third party host, rather than using a player-host, in a peer-to-peer set-up. The result is a faster connection and a more fluent multiplayer performance with less lag

Ships (small and large ships – build them, pilot them and crush them

Space stations

First-person & Third-person

Drilling / harvesting

Manual building in survival mode – use welder to assemble blocks from components; use grinder to disassemble and reuse components
